1. You start wondering about every little detail of their lives.
2. And you have entire conversations with them in your head.
3. You just really need them to put their face away.
4. You find yourself frequenting the establishment in question way more than is strictly required.
5. You genuinely wonder what their hobbies and dreams are.
6. You treasure everything that they hand you.
7. You don't know their name so you just make one up. (Love you, Commissary Guy).
8. You leave the coffee shop in the morning with the feeling like you've just had the perfect date (because you didn't have enough time to ruin it).
9. You know in your heart of hearts that they're *the one.*
10. Your social media stalking gets super creative because you literally know nothing about this person except for their workplace and their beautiful face.
11. You try not to think about all the other customers who cycle through their day.
12. Your friends start to groan whenever you bring up that ~thing~ they said to you the other day.
13. You notice when they change literally anything about their appearance.
14. You know where they are in the room at any given moment.
15. You accidentally memorized their schedule.
16. And you feel validated when they've memorized your order, because they know you just like you know them.
17. And you've become very good at eavesdropping on their conversations with their co-workers and other customers.
18. You feel like you're making productive steps toward your next relationship.
19. You think about slyly slipping them your number.
20. You feel like the coffee shop music is playing just for you two.
21. Every time you go out on weekends you spend significant time hoping you'll run into them.
22. And you bring your friends to their workplace to "meet" them.
23. But when it comes time to talk IRL you get so flustered you can't speak.
24. But that's OK, because you will always have that coffee shop.
